Prognostic factors among TB and TB/DM comorbidity among patients on short course regimen within Nairobi and Kiambu counties in Kenya.
Article in Journal of clinical tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe double burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is one of the global health challenges. Studies done in different parts of the world indicate that 12%-44% of TB disease is associated with DM. In Kenya TB-DM co-morbidity data is scarce and is not readily available. In this study we set to determine the difference in treatment outcomes among TB and TB/DM comorbidity patients and their respective clinical and socio-demographic characteristics.
objectiveTo determine prognostic factors among TB and TB/DM comorbidity among patients on short course regimen within Nairobi and Kiambu counties in Kenya.
methodsWe carried out a prospective cohort study of non-pregnant patients aged 15 years and above that tested positive for TB in two peri‑urban counties in Kenya between February 2014 and August 2015. Clinical and socio demographic data were obtained from a questionnaire and medical records of the National TB program patient data base at two, three, five and six months. The data consisted of TB status, HIV status, TB lineage, County, (Glucose, %HbA1c, creatinine) weight, height, BMI, regimen, sex, level of education, employment status, distance from health facility, number of cigarettes smoked, home size, and diet. Univariate analysis was then used to compare each potential risk factor in the TB and TB/DM patients by the Pearson x
resultsDM prevalence (HbA1c > 6%) among TB infected patients was 37.2%. Regimen, employment status, alcohol intake, smoking, age and household size were some of the factors associated with DM among TB patients at
conclusionPatients regimen, employment status, alcohol intake, smoking, age and are associated with DM among TB patients.
